Separate names with a comma.
This was the hardest part for me, and which caused the most distress, I would say. In the end I used amitriptyline. I used ear buds to play...
Is there any chance you've got mucus in the the eustachian tube? Perhaps from a cold? Or a build-up of ear wax?
Hey Neenie, I wanted to add my voice to the number of people wishing you well and all the best for you. It's hard not to let the dark thoughts...
I had two great naps today, didn't even notice my T. I never thought I'd sleep again in the worst of my days, at the beginning. I'm never taking...
Hi Ishank Unfortunately, it's a bit of a vicious cycle; some of us become aware of mild tinnitus, which stresses us out. The stress and anxiety...
Thanks Markku. Not sure I would have known how to do that anyway.
My head hurts today, but all you lot are making me smile :thankyousign:
You guys and gals are awesome XXX
FANTASTIC!!!!
:-)
Hi Noisepig, good to have you here! @Markku - thanks
Very pleased to hear this! What a massive step forwards :-) :-) :)
I get that fullness. It was what made me panic most I think. It took me a while to realize it was tension from stress and worry, which was then...
Ha, did someone mention beer? :beeranimation:
Hi Emily Good job on introducing yourself. Try not to give yourself a hard time, it's a tough time. You've already seen it's a pit you're very...
It's brilliant isn't it :-) I am lucky enough to know the author too.
Neenie, you will find a way to cope. Your brain at the moment is reacting to the noise like it's a threat and it's causing the fear and anxiety....
:-) I'm afraid it was Costa Coffee, which is like Starbucks. To be honest, I was glad to be anywhere feeling distracted from T. I'm sorry your...
Jade what a fantastic response, thank you - made my morning. Made me smile too. Funnily enough, I am sitting in Costa, which was another part of...
This is a repost of something from about a year ago, but I always wanted a proper place to post my story, in case it helps anyone. One thing is...
Hi Ty, thanks for that. You're going to be OK. I know it's easy to say, but so many people get on top of it and it becomes something you don't...
Calin, just seen this. Very sorry to hear of your loss. DD
Thanks @LadyDi, I hope things get better for you very soon (and there's a really good chance they will) and you're back jetting off to more...
Hi @Per I've been away so took me a while to see your question. I did attend an initial consultation for TRT and we decided to focus on the...
It's worth pointing out that last year, I stopped my wife booking a holiday because I couldn't face it; that was in lowest point of my T. I got...
Per, I strongly believe it's perception. The only difference between now and when I thought my life was over is my mental approach. I don't hear...
I definitely get periods where I think it's a lot louder, but I'm sure it's mostly a perception thing. Luckily it's rare that it distresses me. I...
I am going to Spain with the family :-)
Hi Per I think perhaps that it's a good idea to use the plugs where you feel you need them, no need to add anxiety into the mix. As long as you...
Just seen this.. I wonder if you made people wary of responding with this: > nor am I into receiving it light heatedly with comparisons of how...
Hi Jade, As others have said, you will get through this and you will care less and less about it. It's hard to believe when you're anxious about...
Mahdi, I'm doing good, and it's thanks to TRT, albeit indirectly, and nothing to do with luck. DD
Hi Jason You've found a great forum, hope you find some useful answers to your questions DD
There is a chance that you're hearing it more because you're paying it so much attention. You were initially worried about it, from the very...
Sometimes that's all it takes to make your day better isn't it? I'm glad you're feeling better. I have one suggestion, if I may, which is to...
Hi James, good to meet you. I think there's an excellent chance you'll stop noticing it within a couple of months. If you can, keep doing what you...
Jim, would you be comfortable sharing one or two of the YouTube links that work for you? Cheers
I have to say that the existence of TRT was a life-buoy for me, regardless of its efficacy. Don't take away any shred of hope for people who are...
Krystie, how has today been?
Hi Sparrow Possibly it's only louder because you're paying so much attention to it? I can't believe music will worsen it, at a reasonable...
> I'm interested about going back to the state I was 2 years ago before that developed. Me too. I was just trying to offer some hope.
Hi U001 Lots of people are effectively cured of their tinnitus by becoming habituated to it to the point of not noticing it any more. I'm not...
Hey Casper Your ears will take a few days to recover from the pounding at the club, anyway, but what you're very likely to be suffering from right...
I was summoned again :-) I feel like a frickin' genie. Can I at least grant wishes?
I accept it's not as bad as it could be, but I couldn't face life for a while with what I do have. I really hope (and fully expect) you find some...
I went to ENT originally, and was very suprised to learn my hearing was excellent. I am sure my T comes from playing in a loud rock band, so was...
I was summoned...
Hi Lyns You've really been through it. You've found an excellent community here, though, so welcome. Personally I'm doubtful about electronic...
I don't think it was the concert. Did you worry about the concert afterwards? Possibly, you just started a cycle of anxiety => focus-on-ears =>...
Alienware + Windows 7, Samsung S2. I'm a Windows / Android kind of minion. Windows 8 is an excellent study in how to confuse your tablet market...
Because I have bared my soul to a level I'd be uncomfortable with sharing to the outside world.
This happens to me. I do a gig, go out somewhere with loud music, and then, like never before, I'm worried about my ears; I just think it's the...
Absolutely. My toothache is pissing me off more than the tinnitus. I fear the next anxiety attack which might come if I come of the ADs though....
If that's the app I'm thinking of, that got me through some rough nights.
Last time I went to cinema it was seriously loud, and I play in a rock band. If it's not a musical you're going to , then hopefully it will be the...
You can get an app for your phone that will measure the sound level. Use this to reassure yourself that it isn't as loud as you think. Spend a few...
I was going the other way, really. It could be 15 years or 5 years; 1 year or never. I'm just pleased to know people are working on it.
That's how I look at it. You don't need a cure for something you don't suffer from. Like, I don't need a cure for flatulence. My family may disagree.
I see your speculation, and raise you: 5 years.
Hey Josh, Being young is something will probably work very well for you. Being worried about it is going to make it worse, and you have the...
